I am here SEARCHING for the number 1 song on my birthday. 😊 My mother was the one who gave me my love for music and dancing. I remember her singing and dancing to all the latest songs like Charlie Brown and Yakety Yak. My grandaddy’s name was Charlie and we got a kick out of singing that song to him. I miss my people so much for the truest love I’ve ever known and am grateful they passed on their love of music to me, which I am passionate about to this day. 🎶💃🏾💙
Mine also, she used to sing in the kitchen while making dinner and I would sit at the table and listen. Was about four or five years old. I still remember the songs she would sing and I have copies of them. ❤❤ Thank you MOM. Her name was Helen Montague. I love ❤️ her.😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
Terrific LOUD sound. First concert I even went to was The Coasters in Long Beach Calif auditorium 1956 or 57 when I was 14 or 15. This song is STILL terrific. So glad to see recent posts, people still watching, hearing this great group.
So you must been in your 80s quite a achievement congrats this is my drinking song helps me knock back bottles even when my body giving up at 32 liver disease etc I shouldn’t drink alchol I no but aniexty to me is unbearable and got die of sumthing I guess alchol problem started at 13 and been self medicating all that time godless everyone peace and love ❤️
My first time seeing the coasters perform was in the early 60s at the Howard theater located in Washington DC. I was also a musician myself at the time as a bass guitar player. Later I had the opportunity of recording a song with the lead singer of the coasters Billy guy around 1966 in a recording studio down town DC 22nd & K st NW. Billy recorded a song title Do The Squirrel Robert Earl and that was the last time that I saw him.RIP BILLY
Grateful for Dick Clark having the insight, wherewithal and courage to exspose America to Black music. We could hea it on the radio, but many groups would have never been seen on TV if it was not for Dick! Peace.
@@ghostrider-ek8gu It was a real shame how Alan Freed was screwed over and how it destroyed him, a lot of black artists owe him a tribute for making them famous.
❤ in a time long ago when music WAS music and we just felt good listening to it and sharing it with our friends. In 2024 it's a stalkers song. Ha ha ha.
I have the original ATCO record. Young Blood is on the flip side. The original lead singer sang on both sides. Sha Na Na Na also does both these songs. Check their versions out on U Tube.
It was such a happy time...an illegal war being waged by 2 criminals who worked in the oval office...3 culture shifting assasinations...a race war, protests in the streets... thousands of people suffering from PTSD from WW2 and Korean war....so many fantastic memories...
whispering thunder no matter what decade is mentioned someone will always find something to darken it, I’m just talking about the music. This is hardly the forum to air political views. I understand where you’re coming from but there must be a better place air them .
A buddy and I took-our wives to LasVegas to see the Coasters and what a show those men put on. I think there was 2 original members but you would never know it.
This is one of the greatest two sided hits of all time - the other side being Young Blood. Anyone who was a teenager in New York like was in the late 50s, can't forget it. One of my all-time favorites. When the Beatles first started out, I thought they were a pale imitation of the Coasters. I didn't see them then, but did manage to see them perform in an Oldies review at I think the Fillmore East in Manhattan around 1989.
I was going to post about Young Blood both gems, but you beat me to it Most Coasters 45;s should have been double sided hits Another was Poison Ivy, flip, I'm a Hog For you Baby The 50's nothing beats it!!!!
It's the original group alright. My favorite song and favorite group back then. Leiber and Stoller we need you now! The stuff they call music today isn't. (Except the Eagles, of course.) Stephanie Connor
I loved all the coasters song especially this one after searching I know he did bring her in he was determined to find her still sounds good to me in 2020 back to you coasters
I wished that Dick Clark, would have introduced the group! The Coasters were an amazing singing group! I wish they were still singing! I love this song; though it was before my time! 👍😘👍
This is the second group, the Original Coasters from 1955-58 were Bobby Nunn, Leon Hughes, Carl Gardner, and Billy Guy. Nunn, Hughes and Gardner all came from the Robins. The got Will "Dub" Jones from the Jacks/Cadets. And Cornell Gunter came from the Flairs/Ermines.
The Beatles were big fans of the Coasters, live at the Beeb features "Searchin" and "Young Blood" & "Three Cool Cats" if you listen to One after 909 the harmonies are like the Coasters. The Stones did Poison Ivy !!
I was just this minute listening to an interview with Paul McCartney, from the BBC's Desert Island Discs in which he mentioned this was a popular request for them at the Cavern. He picked it (the Coasters version) as one of the records he would take to a desert island with him. :-)
+Terry McManus You read the book too huh. Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller were amazing. So many people were either influenced or covered their Songs from The Beatles, Beach Boys, Elvis, Donna Summer whose songs have been revered by everyone from Smokey Robinson, Ray Charles and Isaac Hayes. Jerry's Son Oliver was in a Group called Ta Mara & The Seen who had a Hit Record called "Everybody Dance".
Folks, this is the original group with Carl Gardner, Will (Dub)Jones,, Cornell Gunther and Billy Guy performing Searchin on American Bandstand back in the late 1950's!
It's So Good And Rare 😎👍 For First Time I Watched This Video 😎🙆 What Is This Program 😮❓ "Searchin' " Is Well Known Covers Of The Beatles, The Hollies And Spencer Davis Group 😁 I'm Glad To Watch The Rarity Video 😄 Thanks To Upload 😃 Thank You So Much 🙇
LOVE THE COASTERS. Every song was unique. TV in those days was beyond awful, and hysterical. Looks a bit better now. :) And I remember most all of those other songs on the top ten list too. Nice to see Dick Clark again in his early top show.
This was written by the Late Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller who also wrote for The Drifters, Wilbert Harris, Willie Mae "Big Mama Thornton" and of course Elvis Presley. Paul McCartney was a big fan of their Music as stated in The Beatles Anthology. In Australia The Newbeats did their Version of Poison Ivy. Jerry's Son Oliver was in a Minneapolis Group called Ta Mara & The Seen whose Song "Everybody Dance" (not the Chic Song) was a hit written by Jesse Johnson formerly of The Time.

The Coasters were one of of kind.. a stamp in an American Music.. there big songs last for eternity ..and most of all they put a smile on your face..
Came out in 1957 when I was a freshman in high school. Loved to dance to this.
same here Rosemarie...freshman in 58...Danced to this one at weekly teen club :)

I bet they had to enter from the back door.
Awesome 👏 and thanks for sharing!
This is one lineup, maybe the original. Later lineups had 5 members. The bass singer doesn't sing on this.
This group is truly incredible. I'm 31 born in 1990. Can't express how much I love this group

OKG How I love this song! Dang 70 years old and they still make me want to get up and dance. I so love you guys!
The Coasters, were a great group, many hits, it brings back such memories, Thank you Coasters.

If it was good u heard it at the Howard !

Nat King Cole had a variety show on tv before anybody heard of Dick Clark so somebody else was exposing black entertainers on tv way before him.
........dick Clark paid the black acts less than the white acts....appropriated music/American culture.......
It was most definitely Alan Freed
Blak music is all music in the US. It's funny how they call it blak when we do it, but the music itself when anyone else tries to do it.
@@ghostrider-ek8gu It was a real shame how Alan Freed was screwed over and how it destroyed him, a lot of black artists owe him a tribute for making them famous.
What an incredible, INCREDIBLE group that was!
My grandfather used to sing this song when it came on the radio. Didn't sound quite like them but gave my grandmother and I a great laugh
Searchin
❤ in a time long ago when music WAS music and we just felt good listening to it and sharing it with our friends. In 2024 it's a stalkers song. Ha ha ha.
More Coasters forever! This song has the memories of my first dance, first prom and first venture into the outside world, the Air Force.
Im 16 and this music is much better than now. Thanks to my dad he got me into 90s and lower
One of the truly great groups throughout the 1950's. They set the stage for much of what was to come in the 1960's.
Yes I've been trying to find this song forever FINALLY
@BeigeAndBrown arrr you beat me to that one 🤣👍
Why
Guess you could say you were...searchin'
I have the original ATCO record. Young Blood is on the flip side. The original lead singer sang on both sides. Sha Na Na Na also does both these songs. Check their versions out on U Tube.
True talent
I played this 45rpm record all the time, when I was a kid! Still love it!
I was born in 1983 but love my parents era of music...this the real music not like todays ...
Y’all. I’m 21 & I vibe to this sooooo hard. Great music, much soul! 🌸💕
i'm 75 and love this music too, nothing like it today, enjoy victoria
I am 75 this was our music ,so glad you like it .Keeps your body just moving enjoy!
Although I'm older than you, I'm 53, it's still before my time, but I was listening to these songs in the 80s as a teenager.
1960's what a decade, great music, great memories, the best times, especially with songs and groups like this. Happy Days
Pues ya no soy espesial por qué para tener plaser tengo que pagar pues ya que otras personas pagen por oír eso
It was such a happy time...an illegal war being waged by 2 criminals who worked in the oval office...3 culture shifting assasinations...a race war, protests in the streets... thousands of people suffering from PTSD from WW2 and Korean war....so many fantastic memories...
um... this was the 1950s...

Zack this clip is from 1960 but yes doo wops main era was the 50s!
Awesome, Rock on Coasters, loving it in 2021!!!
Both "October Sky" and "The Iron Giant" come to mind when I hear this song! I love both films, which feature the topic of Sputnik!
For me it’s iron giant and know your mushrooms, which is an obscure documentary that predates fantastic fungi
Iron giant bought me here
Both movies that came out in 1999 that also took place in 1957! Mind blown!

they are perfect in this song.
Back when rock and roll was worth listening to!!! And it came out long before I did in 69!!!
Yep, 67 was last solid year,, til 77.
Love This song
We missed out on some great TV shows here in the UK. Thanks for sharing
The Coasters were GREAT,and vastly underrated 50's and 60's rockers. (Cornell Gunter died and my father both died Feb.26,1990.)
love this group
Me too
The Coasters are legendary
It's the original group alright. My favorite song and favorite group back then. Leiber and Stoller we need you now! The stuff they call music today isn't. (Except the Eagles, of course.) Stephanie Connor
Great Music/Songs always Transend Time, the young generation even Love them!!
this is sooo cool a live performance. thanks for posting!
your welcome
I never tire of the piano on this record.
The Beatles cover brought me here.
One of the few covers that IMO are not as good as the original. Can't be, of course, they are a different race.
I loved all the coasters song especially this one after searching I know he did bring her in he was determined to find her still sounds good to me in 2020 back to you coasters

I have Always Adored this Group. My older brother got me hooked when I was 3-4? years old.
Hello Carrie how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
Awesome! Thank you. Gonna play em all!
View 708,942... Thank you for the song.
"Hound Dog" the book by Leiber and Stoller about their career has a lot about their work with The Searchers. Great book!
+Terry McManus You read the book too huh. Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller were amazing.

I LOVE this song! Bring Do-Wop Back please! (Although Gonna Finder Her Isn't strictly Do-Wop) The most joyous, hummable tunes ever.
Love 50s 60s rock n roll :D and iam 23 years old :D !
The best vocal group of the Fifties. Quite an achievement considering the amount there was.
Come on that’s a stretch!
Love this music
I have no shame listen to this music even though with way before my time and I'm only 54 and I love this kind of music
Now this brings back so many memories..
The most underrated group ever!
They are solid gold folks------thx-lol..
Danced live to them in Ca. Think I'll go back and do it again.
I love that little shoutout to Fats Domino, "if she's hiding up, on that blueberry hill"
I remember Beech-Nut gum but I don't remember this show at all. I listened to almost all music on the radio.
@g3user1usa ...You weren't born then.
great song
Adoro esta canción ❤
Great sounds.
I can't believe my sixteen year old son showed me this video, that kid knows good music🙂
Can you clone him??
Hello Ella how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family

worth listening to in 1960, very popular in high school

Hello Angel how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
Met a member at publix in Cocoa 3 weeks ago in the deli ,wow factor .What a honor. RF
they are dead though? who did you meet Leon Hughes? He's the last surviving original member (but he's not here since he left the group before this).
I love their energy
No auto tunes .. pure talent
Foot tapping 6th June 2019 still listening.
Folks, this is the original group with Carl Gardner, Will (Dub)Jones,, Cornell Gunther and Billy Guy performing Searchin on American Bandstand back in the late 1950's!
love the Coasters!
Hello Ann how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family

I wish I was actually there at that time oh well I was actually born in December 1966. These cats appear on the Ed Sullivan Show back then.
Awesome
The song itself was from 1957, but the AB show was from 1960; the song list were all 1960 hits. The Coasters live act was from 1960.
My grandfather would sing this song when it came on the radio...terrible voice but its a memory i often think about when thinking of him...
It's 2024 January 1 and this record still sounds great 🎉😊
The Coasters were basically the mix of The Clovers with the routine of the Cadillacs and the amazing tunes of Leiber/Stoller.
love the late screems contest after the top 10 song board. lol!
Epic SOUL COME ON WITH IT !!!
I'm a sucker for golden oldies music 🎶

Missing this generation of hope and thanks for being Americans
I watched Dick Clark since he started his show. It was awesome!
Great song
